Them Boys

Look at them boys in the back of that truck

Somebody ought to jerk a knot in their butts

Out ridin' around like they own this town

That racket turned all the way up

It's too early for school to let out

And the Pastor's boy just threw a cigarette out

I sure hope there ain't beer in them cups

'Cause our star quarterback's turnin' them up

Them boys don't know one thing about life

True love or trouble struggle or strife

They think it's all just fun and games

Like laws and rules or balls and chains

Treatin' little girls like hearts don't break

Treatin' old men like hands don't shake

I pray it's just a phase they're goin' through

Yeah but what are we gonna do with them boys

I heard ol' Franks grandson got caught

With a case full of beer that Smith boy bought

Y'all didn't hear all of this from me

But I heard they got it with a fake i d

Them boys

Them boys don't know one thing about life

True love or trouble struggle or strife

They think it's all just fun and games

Like laws and rules or balls and chains

Treatin' little girls like hearts don't break

Treatin' old men like hands don't shake

I pray it's just a phase they're goin' through

Yeah but what are we gonna do with them boys

Lookin' back on the times we shared

From rock 'n roll to these rockin' chairs

The same ones our granddads sat in

By this old woodstove in this hardware store

Talkin' the gossip the weather and war

And how much trouble we were in

Oh you can bet they said back then

Them boys don't know one thing about life

True love or trouble struggle or strife

They think it's all just fun and games

Like laws and rules or balls and chains

Treatin' little girls like hearts don't break

Treatin' old men like hands don't shake

I pray it's just a phase they're goin' through

Yeah but what are we gonna do with them boys

They don't know a thing

About love

About life

Them boys
